Teen Center Operating Manual (High School Only)
Big Heavy World is currently seeking high-school interns to help create a standard operating manual for a teen-centered, teen-run music venue. This position will allow interns to practice and improve their skills in organization, advocacy, and community involvement. Interns will be involved in projects such as:
Interviewing members of the music scene to hear their experiences and ideas
Researching how to create a DIY venue that is safe and respectful but also exhilarating and open for creative freedom
Deciding on and documenting best practices that will have lasting impact to put into motion at a real venue
Over the course of your internship, you can expect to become immersed in the local music scene, learn the “behind the scenes” of a DIY community, and create a meaningful impact for Vermont music!
This internship is a paid, supervised position and may be used for high school credit. Applicants who are not accepted into the intern program are encouraged to apply as a volunteer. Interns and volunteers are expected to engage with projects both as part of a team and independently; to show commitment to the BHW ethos by attending crew meetings and pledging to uphold our substance-free policy on the BHW premises; to demonstrate professionalism when representing BHW; and to maintain regular and respectful communication with all collaborators both inside and outside of the BHW team.
To apply for this position, please fill out this survey!
